Thor's day, 2nd day Lent, 2nd day Year of Rooster

From History Channel: tomorrow will be the anniversary of the death of Woodrow Wilson.

I'm still tired from being up all night on a mission to take a friend to the emergency room. Didn't accomplish much more than check my mail and start perusing my journals.

Oh, I did play a short game of backgammon, write in my Journal, and watch the rest of Gus Van Zant's 1997 film, Good Will Hunting. First time I've really noticed Matt Damon and Minnie Driver, though I've been familiar with their names. I wonder how Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were inspired to do this script. Un-Official may throw some light on the making of the film.

I did try out the HP online photo sharing. Needs some work.

Listening to the news on NPR and GPB. Jobless claims in the Peach state are up. Which is usual fro January.

Will have to prepare for the English class. I need to find the answer keys to the GED practice tests.

You are the Gender Abolitionist type of feminist. This means that you
feel the best way to destroy patriarchal oppression is to rid ourselves
of misguided gender roles, and instead live in a society that does not
make such marked assumptions about gender differences. The Gender
Abolitionist is culturally radical, but rather conservative when it
comes to sexual liberation and politics. You have a strong sense of
human rights for all. In fact, you are actually a very moral person.
You don't see people in terms of gender and are thus very philosophical
in order to perceive the world in such a manner. You think people
shouldn't identify others in terms of gender. When most people see a
person, the first thing they think is "That person is a woman" or "That
person is a man", but they do NOT think "That person is a
short-fingernail". Most make someone's gender their IDENTITY, but
fingernail length would never be considered part of their identity. A
gender abolitionist would claim gender should be like fingernail
length--it shouldn't be part of someone's identity. By making gender a
part of identity, difference is emphasized and oppression is often
justified. Thus, gender shouldn't be regarded to such a large extent by
society. You are mostly concerned with seeing women become fully
equalized with men by eliminating gender roles, as these roles oppress
women.
